About me

I’m Rita Lemos, a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals achieve the well-being they deserve. With a strong educational foundation and a deep commitment to personal growth, I specialize in providing tailored psychological support that meets each client’s unique needs. You can count on me for professional, compassionate, and personalized support, where empathy, trust, and authenticity are at the heart of every session. Let’s take that first step together toward balance and personal growth.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
My approach is client-centered, integrating empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques to create a safe and welcoming space. Here, you can openly share your concerns, find emotional relief, and work towards psychological well-being. I have a specialization in Schema Therapy, a therapeutic approach designed to address deeply rooted emotional and behavioral patterns. This method promotes significant, long-lasting change, empowering clients to break free from maladaptive cycles and lead more fulfilling lives. I believe that we all possess an inner strength that sometimes just needs guidance to be discovered and nurtured. Together, we’ll work to overcome challenges, enhance your mental and emotional health, and help you achieve your personal goals.
